well we appear to have the making of Bridesmaids2 here! LOL! one of xsteen’s bridesmaids sent out an email to the rest of the bridesmaids saying that she and the two other local bridesmaids were planning a shower for July for xsteen and that it would be helpful if all could kick in $100-150. well xsbaby as MOH got this missive, as did my two nieces, and my SIL was just texting me about it. It is presumptuous without a doubt to plan something and then bill the rest of the wedding party. I told my SIL i agreed as did xsteen when i told her of it, so my nieces will handle it. There was a discussion of venues etc. Mel wants to know what’s wrong with a coupla chickfila platters, knowing that is xsteen’s fave thing in the whole world! LOL! oh well, guess they will sort it out. not my place to do so. And yeah, xsbaby has ZERO income, so any contribution she makes to the shower is coming from me, which is a no-no in shower etiquette, but these kids don’t know that. Of the three local girls, one lives in a condo that daddy bought, the other lives at home, and the other niece lives with her fiance [she’s getting married in june]. I would think a pot luck shower in a party room of the condo building would be fine. Uncomfortable for xsteen and i, but my nieces and SIL are ok knowing that we had the same reaction that they did. Both of them will incur expenses getting to DC both for the shower in July and the wedding in Sept. The 7th bridesmaid lives in Ireland and won’t be coming to the shower and will have the expense of international travel to get here for the wedding!
